State Police detectives are investigating another bomb threat called in to an
area pharmacy November 2. An unknown male suspect called the Manor Pharmacy
located on North DuPont Highway in New Castle and asked to speak to the
pharmacist. The suspect then demanded that prescription medications be placed
in a bag and left outside of the rear door of the pharmacy. The suspect stated
that if his demands were not met, a bomb would be detonated. The pharmacist
contacted 9-1-1 and evacuated the store without complying to the suspects
demands. A state police canine trained in explosive detection and his handler
responded to the pharmacy and searched both the interior and exterior of the
building. No explosive devices were found and the store was re-opened. It is
not known if the caller is the same person who had made previous threats at the
Rite Aid Pharmacy in New Castle, November 1 or the Rite Aid Pharmacy in
Rehoboth October 30.
